phf: Spam (1) thing in that top bar?
phf: like spam link?
asciilifeform: i have an eternal spam.
asciilifeform: and see if spam is clickable
phf: it is now in spam
phf: i marked it as spam
asciilifeform: phf: does yours also show a non-zeroable spam counter ?
asciilifeform: the spam counter shows '1'
mircea_popescu: well no, the spam one didn't get queued.
mircea_popescu: there;'s no "displayed" though. there's All | Pending (4) | Approved | Spam (15,875)
mircea_popescu: and also do me a favour and delete my spam comment ; now it doesn't let me comment anymoar :)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: all comments other than spam show up in 'pending' in mine.
mircea_popescu: should be in comments if you click on "Spam" aha.
asciilifeform: or huh i see it in spam queue.

mircea_popescu: phf http://trilema.com/2009/trilema-anti-spam/ << see the part going "si respectiv in comments.php a temei," aka "in the comments.php file in your theme"
mircea_popescu: but to get this benefit, mark spam as spam rather than delete it.
mircea_popescu: which is why originally you'll get some spam quarantined, but after a while it goes away. i see ~1-2 pieces / week atm.
mircea_popescu: phf it has a pretty powerful antispam mechanism. it spits on people who try to send pingbacks from other ips than the blog in question ; it quarantines people who try to add posts with links to anything other than your own blog ; and it auto-spams people it recognizes on the basis of the already marked as spam.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i get 0 spam through this, so ...

mircea_popescu: so you're going to try as a package first, then just the domain on a 2nd pass, and advertise this on forums - how many, which, do you have good standing accounts in any (which) or is this going to be just some drive-by spam thing ?
